Pierce's Space Marines (PSM)

Welcome to our alliance!

Pierce's Space Marines were formed in tribute to a fallen comrade from the Real Earth. We fight on in his name, striving to bring order and honor to a cutthroat universe. We are open to new members who are eager to expand, willing to obey our guidelines, and able to lend a hand to struggling neighbors.

We occasionally sing battle songs, as well.

Rules of Engagement

(note: these are being rewritten for clarity. Bring up ideas or issues on the boards.)

1. Feel free to "harvest" inactive planets.
2. Do NOT attack to provoke.
3. If attacked, come to us for Group Defend

Things to Post on the Message Boards

The message boards are a valuable place to ask questions or discuss our planetary locations (don't put your coords, or an Alliance member's coords on this wiki).

• Resource Trading - post if you have something you'd like to trade.
• Farming Report - post a message to guide your Alliance mates to Inactive planets or planets with large debris fields.
• Ask for help if you're being Attacked or Probed

Wall of Rogues

Most conflicts will be a simple matter; you will take a hit, we will help you defend or get revenge. But for those persistent attackers who need to be sought out and crushed, we need Intel. Post their Player name, and the names/locations of their planets here for all to see, and we'll advertise their nefarious activities throughout the Universe!

NOTE: While we have had some trouble with members of the Advanced Fleet Training (A.F.T.) alliance, we are not in conflict with them at this time. Let someone (ie, Tactical Specialist Tribbel) know if you have any problems with an A.F.T. member.

Songs of Battle

True warriors sing.

True warriors sing to excite the blood before battle.

True warriors sing to remember the fallen.

True warriors sing because chicks dig it.

True warriors will already know the tune to this song:

"How much is that Hades in the shipyard?

The one with the round fiery hull.

How much is that Hades in the shipyard?

It looks like a doughnut from hell!"
